NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. -- It didn’t take long for the White Sox to become the darlings of the winter meetings.
When the White Sox mostly stood pat at the trade deadline last summer, many around the league were perplexed by the direction of the organization. If there were any more questions as to where they’re headed, general manager Rick Hahn and the team answered them on Wednesday afternoon with the trade of outfielder Adam Eaton to the Washington Nationals for a trio of pitching prospects, led by Lucas Giolito.
This came a day after the Sox traded their ace Chris Sale to Boston for Yoan Moncada, Michael Kopech and two more prospects.
